Welp, we have a new Grinch trailer.


--
In all honesty, it's much better than the first trailer. We get to see more of Whoville, AND we hear more of Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch.

On the other hand, I have a few concerns.
First of all, even for the actor chosen for the role... BC's Grinch kind of sounds underwhelming. Nothing really makes him stand out (except for the moment when he says he's going to steal Christmas). He just sounds like a "regular" guy with a silly voice.

Also, we get this flashback through the Grinch's eyes where he was stuck in an orphanage, where Christmas once shined, but then it seems like Christmas slowly began disappearing from his life when he saw how happy everyone was on the outside, and how miserable he felt staying in there.

So, from the looks of the trailers, I have a few predictions...
1) The Grinch hates Christmas because it was never there for him and it brought him nothing but misery BECAUSE it was never there for him, so he decides to steal it to make the Whos as miserable as he was when he was young.
2) The Grinch DOESN'T hate Christmas and instead wants to experience it for once, so he decides to steal it so he can have it all to himself while the other Whos remain in misery for not having a Christmas.

Why do I get the strange feeling that it may be the second one...?

I'm sorry, I can't get used to this more casual Grinch. Hiring Benedict Cumberbatch and not having him use his deeper voice and accent is just wasted potential.
